While there are no glaring weaknesses for Germany they only scored one set piece goal in qualifying and none on headers.

In four of their last five friendly matches, the Germans have played World Cup-bound teams and they are unbeaten.
World Cup Prediction for Germany

German’s biggest match in group play is their first one playing Portugal and while they will not win easily they win nonetheless with their superior midfield play.

They will not have a problem beating Ghana and the USA and Germany will take all nine points in group play. They will meet France in the quarterfinals and win a close match and then face Brazil in the semifinals.

This will be a great match up, but on their home turf Brazil will get the win and it would not be a surprise if the match was a low scoring one that goes to penalties.
How Germany got to the World Cup

Germany easily won their European qualifying group where they went unbeaten and they were the highest scoring team in the process. They only played to a draw in one match at home against Sweden and overall had nine wins and one draw.

In every match, but one they scored at least three goals and in three of their last four matches they had a clean sheet.

Team Key Players

Thomas Muller FW Bayern Munich – While Germany does not have a superstar striker he is very close to it and the main attacker for the squad.

Mesut Ozil MF Arsenal – Ozil is a great playmaker that is great at ball control in the midfield and can push forward on the attack and drop back on the defensive line.

Mario Goetze MF Bayern Munich – Another great midfielder for the squad that has solid playmaking skills.
